If this works then I wanted to post a few pics of my tank. It is 120 Gal Handmade Acrylic tank and stand that I bought several months ago and so far it has been an obsession. These are pics taken several months ago with the original stuff in them. I have done some upgrades. I still have alot to learn, but it has been wonderful so far. I am upgrading to a 200 gal soon....That didn't take long. Well, enjoy!!!! :D

Well some of the pics aren't that great...but you get the idea!!

He has since been relocated to someone else's tank!!! I am not sure how to post more than one pic at a time, but it gives me a chance to explain the pic at least. Here is another one.

I now have a Bi-color Blenny, 2 Osc. clownfish, pygmy angel, 2 green chromis, blue devil, 2 yellowtail damsels, yellow tang, several hermit crabs, 1 electric blue hermit, Queen conch snails, Turbo snail???, striped serpent star, striped Mushroom polyps, zoas, I had a small blue mushroom, but it disappeared. Several other mushrooms, but not sure what kind. I also have a cabbage coral and a devils hand. I have 2 small emerald mithrax crabs, and some crab that is real creapy, but he stays hidden in the rock and if you get close to the tank he will disappear. I had gotten a bubble tip anemone, but he comitted suicide in my powerhead. :shock: Yes....I cried all mornin long. I have met some great people with this hobby. I am constantly reading and researching on-line about different things. I would love to be able to go to one of the meetings, but I heard that no one has them anymore here in Mobile. If that changes, please let me know!! I will post more pics when my camera recharges. Enjoy!!!

Everything is looking awesome. I wish I had to room for a tank that size, let alone bigger. :)

Too bad about the anemone, but you live and learn in this hobby sadly.

And I as well hope that one day some more meetings will happen. It would be nice to meet up with the people somewhat in my area anyway. :)

What is really bad is I would give anything to keep a carpet anemone. Tried a green carpet that never did attach to anything.
